In its more common premature form, Coup Padre can resembles an eggplant and can be safely consumed. The Coup Padre plant's mature form is rare and hard to identify, requiring a Wilderness Lore DC 25 skill check to find and Profession (herbalist) (DC 18, 14 for Souragnien locals) to identify.

The mature plant requires little to no nourishment or sustenance to keep alive, yet grows stems, roots, and possibly fruit bearing structures when put in the right environmental conditions.
